* GETTING FASTER

The increase in import duty receipts shows that there is a shift in the release of
imported goods from ports or airports to PLB. This means that the function of PLB
is running according to its objectives. This is because one of the functions of PLB
is as an extension (spoke) of the main unloading port (hub).

This concept is known as hub and spoke. So the port is no longer the final
destination (spoke) for raw materials, but goes up one level to become a hub.
Meanwhile, warehouses outside the port near industrial centers become spokes for
raw materials, namely places for temporary storage of goods. waiting for clearance
or permission.

In this way, the existence of PLB can provide logistics efficiency to business
actors. They obtain raw materials more easily and with better quality, with more
efficient capital and time.

* PLB MAKES LOGISTICS MORE EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT

Hariyadi Sukamdani, general chairman of the Indonesian Entrepreneurs Association

(Apindo), admitted that the existence of PLB helps business actors. By stockpiling
goods at PLB, it will reduce entrepreneurs' capital. We don't pay more to stock
goods. Stock items can also be scheduled, he said.
The time it takes for entrepreneurs to get raw materials is getting faster. The
problem is that business actors who need raw materials just need to take them from
the PLB warehouse. If they have to import them first, it will be a hassle, added
Haryadi. This capital and time efficiency can boost production capacity. So that
factory performance becomes better.
